LIVE BROADCAST

"The documentary “The Scandal of Amazona” was the work of scriptwriter Jiří Martin and director František Arlet. With typical demagogy, the program concealed many facts and blamed international imperialism or the British secret service. But Burian and Konečný’s interesting statements made up the bulk of the show. In one sequence, Konečný flipped through the book feigning surprise over images that…

DAVID BOWIE, MIRABELLE DIARIES

25 May 1974I must tell you all about the wonderful new projects I’ve become involved in. I’m going to produce a movie called Oktobriana [sic]. What, you may say, is an Oktobriana? Well, Oktobriana is a who, not a what, and she’s the beautiful blonde, super-heroine of a very famous Russian underground comic strip.I was given the collection of Oktobriana comic strips as a present — and while…

TRINA ROBBINS, HOW I MET OCTOBRIANA

I first met Octobriana the way many other people met her: in the 1971 Harper and Row book, Octobriana and the Russian Underground. As an underground cartoonist, I was fascinated to think that there might be an underground comics scene in Russia too, and as a woman who was drawing political heroines in my comics (which most of the guys were not doing), it was great to see another political heroine…

	ONE SMALL DIVERSION
	"In early September the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza published a text by Kuba Wandachowicz of the band Cool Kids of Death.1 In this manifesto, entitled “Generation Nothing,” he defines in specific terms the Polish situation in which he and his peers currently live. They are young “intellectuals,” representatives of the generation born in the mid-1970s, a generation that, as Wandachowicz puts…

	GATEWAY TO POSTMODERN PURGATORY
	How she drove my car and moreI finally met Štěpánka Šimlová for the first time in Gallery MXM this year — one evening before I was to set off for France. The week prior I had been asking around for a traveling companion and by that night I’d given up all hope of finding someone. These days, people no longer make up their minds on the spot, so I was half joking when I asked her if she wanted to…

	OCTOBRIANA A RUSKÝ UNDERGROUND, PART 3.
	"Dangerous NaiveteThe book itself is almost innocent by today’s standards. It documented a counter-culture behind the Iron Curtain — something everyone interested in this part of the world already knew existed. Nevertheless, the format lured an audience that lacked solid information on the socialist camp. With the popularity of the left-wing rising among young people in the late 1960s and early…

SOC-ART

Petr Sadecký, young and idealistic Czech communist in Kiev, described the shock he suffered when he entered the PPP clubroom and for the first time was exposed to the melange of Lenin posters and pornographic magazines. This effect of combining the “holy” with the profane was not new. For example, the surrealists used shocking combinations of religious and pornographic elements. The combination…

	“WE’RE THE HIPPIES OF TOMORROW” OR “OH, XAO SEFFCHEQUE WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL” (ACCORDING TO FOYER DES ARTES)
	"The shout’s been coming from all four corners of the media globe: “Punk! Punk! Punk! The great Pop culture revolution is back.” Over its 25th anniversary (the year 1976 is usually hailed as the birth date of punk) revival crept yet again into mass media, this time causing a sensation. Talks and lectures, films and slide projections, DJs who finally gathered enough courage to play this music (an…

	OCTOBRIANA A RUSKÝ UNDERGROUND, PART 2.
	"What Really Happened (One Version) Petr Sadecký had known Zdeněk Burian and Bohuslav Konečný since his childhood when he searched them out as their fan. He soon won their trust and gradually went from being an immature fan to becoming a good friend. He helped both artists with their archives. He assisted Burian with his exhibitions and Sadecký’s father was also allegedly involved. He published…

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
